From about 10 feet away, I might give you 'cute'-- close up they are
rats.

No way are they 'inoffensive' - they are vermin of the lowest order.

My war with squirrels began when they killed the baby Pileated
Woodpeckers in my back yard.

It has continued through the years as they pillage my garden, destroy
my birdfeeders, wipe out my fruit trees, and raid the birds nests
[this year they got a Screech Owls eggs]

just protect your building so they cant get inside, and to discourage
them futher dont leave their favorite foods out, that will only
attract them


I've never had any inside.

Got plans for an inexpensive indoor greenhouse that can include an
orchard and 5000sq foot garden?

You can be as nice to squirrels as you want anywhere but on my
property. The fuzzy tailed rats are personae non gratae here.
